Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
Conditions
Brief summary
In recent years, researches illustrate that multifactorial diseases such as functional gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune diseases, metabolic, behavioral and neurological diseases are associated with an abnormal microbiome structure-dysbiosis, which means the imbalance of the microbiome community. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), the infusion of faeces from a healthy donor to the gastrointestinal tract of a recipient patient aiming to alter the intestine microbiota, is recommended to be performed in Clostridium difficile infection(CDI) as the most effective therapy. It also being used experimentally in the treatment of the disease states linked to dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiota. However, the efficacy and safety of FMT to treat the dysbiosis-associated diseases is still in its infancy. To further verify the indications above, more data is required to be collected through studies.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The efficacy of FMT in patients with gastrointestinal symptom will be assessed by the change of Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale(GSRS). | 1 year | Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale(GSRS) is a measure of gastrointestinal symptom severity in five clusters (pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and early satiety).The items are scored between 1 and 7, where 1 corresponds to no discomfort at all and 7 to very severe discomfort from the symptom. The participants will be asked to filled in the scale in several time points from baseline to 12 months after FMT. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE) V4.0 | 1 year |
Other
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Numbers of patients who have improvement in clinical symptoms (depends on each disease as stated in outcome) | 1 year |
